The name is a variation of Catalaya and has seen a gradual increase in popularity in the United States over recent years. Originating from the exotic Cattleya orchid, Cataleia evokes images of delicate beauty and vibrant elegance. This floral association lends the name an air of natural grace and sophistication. Although it remains relatively rare—with occurrences ranging from 5 to 21 newborns per year since 2012—its distinctiveness ensures that any girl named Cataleia will stand out with a name as unique as she is.
